"I got three good reasons why you should just walk away."

“And what, pray tell, would those reasons be?” Diaval askedcoldly. His eyes affixed the witch, though he didn’t get up from his chair.

In the next three days I have two finals, have to pack for winter break, and drive 7 hours. It is extremely unlikely that I will be replying to anything.

  Smaug felt some pity for his bird-friend. All that hard work and effort, almost given as nothing. Though, he did understand it was the species barrier, neither of them knowing about the other’s customs. Smaug had only knew crows were flight creatures, just like he, but never anything about mating, their nests, or any of the real basics.

          “ Sure.                A nest was all it took to offer. “

  Smaug had finally stood onto his feet, eyebrows to only keep furrowed, confused above all else. It all was almost a misunderstanding.

         “ It’s a common misunderstanding.                 Perhaps one thing we need to do is learn about these unfamiliar customs. “

  There was a low chuckle under his breath to ease the remaining tension from the conversation and situation. It had also seemed the way to provide for mates and offsprings were another difference. For that, he almost remained quiet.

         “ That’s another difference.                Dragons are considered independent, whether pregnant or not.                    The most that we provide for our mates is food and safety, and that is occasionally.                    For the offspring, we go right into teaching them how to walk and kill for food. “

Diaval looked up at Smaug, his eyes wide and hopeful. “Well. I’m making a nest,” he offered. He quickly stood up after his dragon companion. “So… does you sitting in it mean you accept?”

Independent. Diaval’s heart stilled at that word. Would that mean Smaug would leave or send him away? Even if they did not become anything more than friends, Diaval wasn’t certain he could bear it. And yet he couldn’t bring himself to ask after it, fearing the answer.

“Yes, learning each other’s customs would probably be best. Then we could decide on how to proceed from there,” he said. He shuffled after Smaug a bit; in his nerves, he didn’t want to be far away from the other. “Is there something that you do actually do for your mate? Something I can do for you?”

The Emperor's New Groove {Sentence Starters}

"Why do we even have that lever?"

"It's called a cruel irony, like my dependence on you."

"Okay, I admit it. Maybe I wasn't as nice as I should have been."

"Don't tell me. We're about to go over a huge waterfall."

"Make me the special. And hold the gravy!"

"So, is everything ready for tonight?"

"I got three good reasons why you should just walk away."

"Take him out of town and finish the job, now!"

"I'll smash it with a hammer! It's brilliant, brilliant, brilliant, I tell you! "

"Look, I'm sorry for tossing you out the window earlier."

"I thought we'd start off with soup and a light salad, and then see how we feel after that."

"What can I say? I'm a rebel."

"Why did I think you could do this? This one simple thing!"

"Are you talking to that squirrel?"

"Ha! You really should have thought of that before you became peasants!"

"Hey, it doesn't always have to be about you."

"I didn't do anything, and they ruined my life and took everything I had."

"That is the last time we take directions from a squirrel."

"And do you want to know something else? I've never liked your spinach puffs!"

"It's my birthday gift to me. I'm so happy."

"Will you take a look at that? Pretty pathetic, huh?"

"Somebody's throwin' stuff. You gonna build a fire or what?"

"What do you mean the door's stuck? Try jiggling the handle."

"I have no idea. You're the criminal mastermind, not me."

OKAY BUT THIS MOMENT IS SO IMPORTANT.

Maleficent is hands down the greatest and most powerful sorceress of her time.

She’s murdered ARMIES with the flick of her wrist, and her death count is in the fucking tens of thousands.

She can magically suspend people in the air, and make them fucking goddamn comatose.

She can curse people into sleeping death, god knows what else she can inflict.

But when prompted with only one enemy, a simply soldier blocking their way to Aurora, that could have easily subdued,  and what does she do?

SHE FUCKING USES HER STAFF LIKE A GODDAMN BASEBALL BAT AND WHACKS HIM IN THE FACE.

AND SHE’S SO PROUD OF HERSELF FOR IT AFTERWARD SHE’S SO FUCKING PLEASED LIKE “HMM THAT WAS NICE” OH MY GOD MAL YOU’RE SUCH A FUCKING ASSHOLE I  LOVE YOU SO MUCH

  Smaug would continue to sit there, watching the soon angered crow. Smaug would keep his patience, keeping it well, as the argument had been of nothing to him.

          “ I have appreciated your efforts of providing stones and food for me.                   I had only figured it was out of kindness.                         But if only you had listened to the thoughts inside my head.                I’ve known most of this time that you were attempting to impress me.                      You have impressed me, but that is different from mating. “

  Smaug took a moment to breathe, letting his words remain put and set, with nothing he felt that needed to be repeated or fixed. His arms had crossed loosely over his chest, and amber-colored eyes kept their gaze in the direction, as deadly as it would always be.

          “ I have only waited to see if what I thought was correct, about mating.                  With my kind, you either are blunt to ask of being mates or prepare a nest to impress the one you wish to mate with.                                Gifts are no part of it. “

[wingsforhermajesty-blog]

Different from mating? Diaval was pleased that he had managed to impress Smaug, but he quickly realized he had been going about this all wrong. He was still a bit ticked off, but now his ire was being redirected at himself. He chuckled darkly and shook his head, allowing his bangs to cover his eyes.

“All I had to do was make a nest then?” he said, more to himself than anything. Then he glanced back up at Smaug, who was harder to read than usual. Perhaps it was because they were in unfamiliar conversation; and unprecedented thing. “I see where I went wrong. I had not realized that dragons have different mating rituals than birds.

“Impressing you is an important part of mating; why else would you want to be with me? The gifts are important too; to show I can provide for you and any offspring,” he explained, then quickly added “not that I’m expecting there to be offspring, I’m just saying. It’s important.”

Semi Hiatus

Hey. I realize I’ve not been the most active, so I’m putting my blogs on semi hiatus until I feel like my brain is better and I’m more rested.

[wingsforhermajesty-blog]

❄ ((damn mobile thingy WORK! also, hi))

Send ❄ for our muses to be stuck in a cabin while a large winter storm is raging outside.

“It’s really coming down out there,” Diaval said with ashiver. He closed the curtain and moved to add more wood to the fire. Justlooking at the snow was enough to send a chill through his bones. He hatedwinter, wasn’t fond of the snow, and couldn’t stand being cold; so it was justhis luck that his new mistress wanted to get away to the mountains when ablizzard was set to hit. His eyes trailed over the provisions that theybrought. “Think we have enough food and wood to wait it out?”

Her birdbrain was charming when he wanted to be. And she could feel the truth in his words–see it in his eyes. How had a pet turned into this? She was beyond smitten anymore, she was completely falling for him. The Fae queen smiled into the kiss, licking her lips after and as he spoke. Wiggling and scooting up his body, she straddled his waist and slid her hands over his shoulders before draping her arms over him and tilting her head. Her hair fell to the left, blocking a bit more of the hearth’s light and she grinned, fingertip stroking along his cheek. “And now? Without the extra light?”

[wingsforhermajesty-blog]

“More beautiful than the stars in the sky,” he whispered, and took advantage of her new position to steal a kiss. He lingered on her lips, savoring her taste. Gently, he raked his nails down Ellyn’s back; knowing the thin fabric would let her feel most of the effect and curious to see how she would respond. “My mistress, my queen,” he whispered. “My Ellyn.”

[smaugiiisms-deactivated20200129]

Confused as to what Smaug was referring to, and the dragon’speculiar behavior, he couldn’t help but stare at Smaug. What did he mean bythat, and why did he suddenly just settle himself into the nest? Diaval blinked.Was he trying to claim Diaval’s nest as his own? Even when he had mounds ofgold to sleep on?

“Uhh… How about you get out so I can finish making my nest?”Diaval asked. He was a bird after all, and he needed a proper place to rest. “Andwhy do you want to claim my nest anyway? Or is this your way of sayingeverything in the mountain belongs to you?”

  Smaug had only managed to return the stare, just as confused as Diaval had seemed to be. There was no desire when it came to the nest for his own, he had more comfortable mounds of gold to lay upon, in either form of his. He grown confused, whether or not he had been mistaken this moment for something he’d be more familiar with.

          “ I do not wish to claim your nest, although everything in and around the mountain does belong to me, essentially.                  I am beginning to believe I am only misunderstanding.               Isn’t this how your being asks to mate?                     It is kind of how it works with my kind. “

[wingsforhermajesty-blog]

“Mate?” Diaval echoed, his mind barely registering the implication. Then he swore profusely.

“Are you kidding me?!” he yelled, and threw the pillow in his hands at the dragon. “I have been bringing you pretty stones and food for months now; things that both took a lot of effort on my part to get. And nothing, you don’t respond except with a smile and a thanks. But this?” He made a vague gesture towards his nest. “Was all I had to do?”

Diaval huffed and then sat down in the half built nest in front of Smaug. “So no, I asked you to be my mate with all the gifts,” he said, his voice much quieter now. “I was trying to impress you…”

Diaval groaned as he fell onto the balcony outside of Ellyn’sroom. He had been careless, comfortable in his surroundings. He hadn’t evenseen the dog until it was on him; ripping and tearing at him. It was a miracle thatDiaval managed to survive. Well, that and a bit of magic he supposed. Hehobbled into the room, his wing dragging awkwardly on the ground as he moved.His mistress wouldn’t be back until later, but this was the only safe place hecould think of. He found a pillow and flopped down to rest. Hopefully she wouldnot care that he was soiling it with blood.

As he pulled her down, the Fae Queen curled against his side, half on his chest. Sniffling, she nodded and found it a bit harder to slow her tears this time as that feeling of dread gripped her heart and memory lane threatened to drown her. Ellyn kissed him back, unable to stop crying yet and spoke with a whimper. “I…It’s just that everyone I fall in love with dies…I didn’t ever want to add your name to that list, Diaval….Never ever…But seeing you there–like that made me realize I was already in love with you and if I didn’t try to save you, I wouldn’t be able to forgive myself…” Not to mention it might drive her a bit mad, but she doesn’t say that. She’s said so much already with her quivering and cracking voice.

[wingsforhermajesty-blog]

There wasn’t anything Diaval could say in response to that, so he pet her hair soothingly and made a sort of cooing noise in his throat. He had no idea how it was that fairy comforted one another, but closeness and gentle noises was how his bird brain was programmed. As of yet, he wasn’t able to tell if he was being successful or not.

The confession came as a surprise, but only a little. There had been a suspicion in the back of his mind that she might. But to have it confirmed was a different experience. “Hey, hey, look at me,” he said and wiped away some of her tears. “You can’t just say you love me for the first time while crying. You have to smile and be happy.” He gave her a smile. “Like, how would you feel if I told you I loved you for the first time while I was bleeding and injured? Isn’t fair, is it?”

@smaugiiisms

 Smaug does not openly question the making of this nest on the stairwell where he normally goes down. Curiosity gets to the better of him, and nests, in his kind, were not used on a normal basis.

          “ Diaval, should I question this?                 Not sure why you made a nest, for there are beds to lay.                     Far more comfortable for that type of activities. “

 He remains silent, and settles himself into that nest of blankets and cushions without the permission, amber eyes to look at his friend.

          “ So, what now? “

Confused as to what Smaug was referring to, and the dragon’s peculiar behavior, he couldn’t help but stare at Smaug. What did he mean by that, and why did he suddenly just settle himself into the nest? Diaval blinked. Was he trying to claim Diaval’s nest as his own? Even when he had mounds of gold to sleep on?

“Uhh… How about you get out so I can finish making my nest?” Diaval asked. He was a bird after all, and he needed a proper place to rest. “And why do you want to claim my nest anyway? Or is this your way of saying everything in the mountain belongs to you?”

Not the typical Sacrificial Virgin

@smaugiiisms

“Stupid backwater –grunts- lowlifes,” Diaval muttered to himself. How dare they treat him this way? Take his pack and things and just leave him chained up on a mountain side. Who even did such barbaric things anymore? And what were they trying to prove? It was one thing to steal his stuff, but to leave him chained on a mountain alone to die seemed a little drastic.

Diaval struggled to pick the lock with a straight pin. Not that he was having much luck. “Sure, had to be an honest merchant,” he muttered. “Wanted to live a clean, straight life. Well, looks like living honest gets you murdered.” In all of his distraction, he failed to notice the man coming down the mountainside.
